Knight of Swords

Air

Impulsive

The Knight of Swords. A slightly more grown up Page of Swords. This Knight is charging directly in. A keyword he has been given is "impulsive". He is always moving, the horse is not touching the ground. A lot of intellect but not much planning. Taking risks, and charging in, but needs to be careful of running into a wall.

Monday, February 12th, 2024 - Six of Wands

 

Six of Wands

Fire

How appropriate. Six of Wands representing being celebrated, the rider on the horse is above everyone else. There has been a recent victory. Indeed, the Chiefs won the super bowl yesterday. There is recognition going on here. Self confidence coming from the hero of the day. I would like to be that hero, riding high, sitting tall and straight.

Sunday, February 11th, 2024 - The Lovers

 

The Lovers

Focus. The woman is looking up at the angel, the angel is looking down at the man and the woman, and the man is looking at the woman. Seeing beauty in all places. Naked and vulnerable but not covering up. This card represents 100% acceptance of another person. Nudity has sexual and romantic connotations but loving someone so completely does not automatically become about sex or romance. In my life I experience this type of love towards me, and I give it to others. 

Saturday, February 10; 2024 - Ace of Swords

 

Ace of Swords

Element: Air

Pure, unadulterated intellect. The essence of the mind. Being handed a gift, not good or evil, not positive or negative. It’s a tool that needs responsible use, because it cuts away emotion from decision making. It gives me the wisdom to understand issues in a logical and practical way, without having judgment clouded by emotions. But it also makes it possible to wield a sharp tongue and hurt others. 

Friday, February 9th, 2024 - Queen of Swords

 

Queen of Swords

Element: Air

Mind/Intellect

The Queen of Swords is a representation of my own internal feminine side, the part of me that would take indiscriminate action, void of all emotion, using nothing but logic. The sword would cut away all emotional connection to the choice. This Queen has a sharp tongue and says what needs to be said, direct and to the point. She's a force to be reckoned with. With her lending her power and support to me, it is like there is an army behind me. If I cross her, I will have to put up a fight and potentially come away bruised. She is loving and caring but her method of delivering this is through unadulterated truth. If she's not me, then she is someone in my life who displays these attributes.

Thursday, February 8th, 2024 - Queen of Cups, Inverted

 

The Queen of Cups

Keywords: Creativity, fertility, strong emotion, change, intuition

Water

The Queen of Wands is either my own internal motherly feminine side, or any person in my life who might take on that role - not for me, necessarily. She has her toe dipped into the water, while the other foot remains on the earth. Water is a symbol for emotion. The queen is not bathing in emotion, she is staying in touch with it. It's not only her emotion, it's emotion of the outside world, her friends and family, acquaintances. She's in tune with emotion but not drowning in it, she remains grounded. Her cup is covered up, so I can only share in what she's drinking when she allows. In an inverted state, it's a signal to keep aware of what happens when I bathe in the emotional turmoil of myself and the outside world. I get clingy and needy. There could be someone in my orbit who exhibits these behaviors, or it could be me.

Wednesday, February 7th, 2024 - King of Wands, Inverted

 

King of Wands, Inverted

Wands are Fire, Inspiration

Keywords: Leadership, self confidence, success, good fortune, loyalty

The King of Wands is a benevolent ruler. He is kind, generous, and trustworthy. A leader who is respected by his subjects. He is a symbol of success. He represents a kind and trustworthy person who I can count on to help me. However, being inverted, is a signal that success may not come quickly, there could be a setback. Another possibility is that someone I am counting on to help, may not be able to help, or may want to help and just not have the power to do anything. Or they have loyalty to something else and cannot help, even if they wanted to.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2024 - Nine of Wands, Inverted

9 of Wands

Element - Fire

Root idea - Inspiration

Keywords: Courage, recovery, strength, success, conquest

The 9 of Wands depicts a man standing guard, ready to defend against any attack. An inversion of the card can represent that a battle that is taking place is being lost, and in this position I should cut my losses and retreat. Maybe a negative situation won't improve and the only solution is trying a different course. 

Monday, February 5th, 2024 - Two of Pentacles

 

2 of Pentacles

Element: Earth

Keywords: Balance, busyness, financial partnership, choices, ups and downs

The Two of Pentacles shows a man juggling two coins, that are entangled by some fabric that has folded itself into a horizontal 8, what we nowadays refer to as the infinity sign. This image shows someone who has several tasks or obligations and he is keeping them all in balance. It shows that he has several resources at his disposal. Maybe he is also needing to make a consideration of which one to choose. The ships in the background are on rough waters. Keeping appropriate balance for work time and play time is important to staying satisfied in life.

Sunday, February 4th, 2024 - Wheel of Fortune

 Wheel of Fortune is a card representing perpetual change. Life transitions from birth to death, the day transitions to night, light to dark, in a circle. Upright could mean that there are some changes coming for me on the horizon, but it's all part of the cycle of life, and I am just along for the ride.

Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 - The High Priestess, Inverted

 The High Priestess is a card symbolizing intuition. If the card were upright it could be symbolizing needing to pay attention to my dreams or listening more closely to my inner voice. The inverted could be symbolizing my unrealized potential, or that I’m hiding my true self for fear of judgment. It could be suggesting I need to get out of my own head. At the moment I am on a journey of self discovery and these ideas of showing my true self to other people is intimidating.
